Default A barryboys special

Dare not post this up on their site has they have such strict rules on how to post and knowing me I would **** it up, so here for your viewing pleasure is a lovely example I spotted whilst out shopping the other week..mmmm quite special I think



The picture dosent do it justice, but the paintwork wasnt finished , full of filler and two shades of grey Notice how the bonnet dosent match up with the shut lines on the wings





I think the trolley next to it looked better

If you read the stickies on their site and use the 'Preview' button as well you should be fine.

bonnet has been 'bad boyed' so maybe s/he wanted it like that.

nope, argos, wickes (which the owner uses for the coving they sell for the intricate side skirts ), pc world, M&S, comet, pizza hut etc. No halfords.

Though Argos do do some lovely bit of modifying kit in their catalogue

I used to live in Southend. You'd really see some pretty damn tidy motors there but you had to take the rough with the smooth, literally. There were some shocking creations. The worst I ever saw was an old Metro that had been painted in Burberry colours, the interior was thrown together with everything available from Halfords all in one car, the classic 'shopping list' down the sides of the doors and the clincher - a big sticker over the back window proclaiming 'The Metro Touch'. The rest you could almost believe they were taking the **** with.

its lame enough to be posted as part of a multi car thread. the skyline is worthy of a thread on its own.

Barryboys isn't hard to post on, just read the stickies, use the preview button and have a sense of humour if you mess up.

Most of the people on there are very knowledgable and car enthusiasts like the members of SN

Nice bit of craftmanship there. Is it amphibious? How the hell do these sheds get MOT? I shat myself when my exhaust was blowing and it passed but this needs guts to drive in for MOT.
You really have to wonder how testers view cars.
If I was a rozzer I would be constantly stopping this just pull the **** out of it!

The Vectra I have to say, nice work. Yeah its been chavved but least the colours match etc. Have seen worse lol
